At the time of the hand-lit meeting, half of the restaurant was closed, and the lobby was lit by candlelight.

After Nie Yunzhu counted today's receipts, he walked over and put the money bag in front of the table where Lin Haoran was sitting, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes like autumn water looked even more charming and moving in the candle flame.

Red 1: Eleven!

Red 2: Nineteen!

Red 3: Twenty-five!

……

Lin Haoran held a large handful of bamboo sticks in his hand and sat at the table to classify them. These sticks are painted in several different colors, of different lengths, and with different numbers on them, which are somewhat similar to the casino chips of later generations.

Liu Baozi and his wife stood aside, staring at the bamboo sticks on the table, their eyes flashing with small stars.

After a while, Lin Haoran sorted these bamboo sticks into categories, and with his fingers dexterously dialed a few times on the abacus, he said to the couple who looked up: "A total of thirteen two hundred and thirty-five dollars, you can calculate it yourself!"

"No, you don't! No! Liu Baozi and his wife were overjoyed, and they were busy waving their hands.

How much money they make, they already know, except for the silver to buy ingredients, is what they get today. Now they can get so much, enough to keep them awake at night.

Lin Haoran picked up the paper, then folded it and handed it to them: "This paper is very detailed, you look back and feel that the number is wrong, you can find someone to calculate it in private." If there is a mistake in the number, we will supply it to you, and we must not let this account be unclear and cause trouble, which will be detrimental to our future cooperation. ”

"Nope! No! Childe has given us such a great favor, how can we be born to be angry because of small things! Liu Leopard waved his hand, and his wife helped him take the paper.

Half of the restaurant has made an innovation, that is, the introduction of the later generation - the private kitchen model.

Package kitchen, that is, the restaurant outsources the kitchen. The specific operation is to hand over the kitchen to Liu Baozi, and let his team be responsible for the procurement of ingredients and make the corresponding dishes.

Nie Yunzhu no longer cares about the affairs of the kitchen, and is only responsible for the daily operation of the restaurant, and the two sides reach a cooperative relationship to share the profits of each dish.

Every time a guest orders a dish, Nie Yunzhu will send the corresponding bamboo skewers to the kitchen, and Liu Leopard will make the corresponding dishes according to the bamboo skewers, so that he can get a share of the dish.

As for the settlement, Liu Leopard took the bamboo sticks he got that day and exchanged them for money. The number of the bamboo skewers represents the dish, the length and color represent the price, and the bamboo skewers have become a tool for placing orders and settling accounts.

These methods and ideas naturally came from Lin Haoran, who established a package kitchen system that conformed to the characteristics of this era.

Liu Baozi was a little worried about the kitchen system at first, but after getting the first day's share, this guy who regarded money as his life became a killing god. Whoever dares to get along with half a restaurant can't get along with him, that is, he can't get along with Liu Leopard.

The butcher shop refused to sell pork, and he pounced on it with a kitchen knife!

Someone came to the restaurant to make trouble, and he pounced on it with a kitchen knife!

There was a dog peeing at the door, and he pounced on it with a kitchen knife!

……

Although the property rights of the restaurant have nothing to do with him, he treats it as his own, because the more prosperous the business of the restaurant, the more he earns.

After the settlement was settled, Lin Haoran handed over the money, all of which Liu Leopard deserved.

If it weren't for Liu Leopard, who could both cook and fight, the problem of half the restaurant might not have been solved so smoothly, and it is still a rotten shell with empty traffic but unable to be realized.

If Nie Yunzhu doesn't know how to make trade-offs, he still thinks about the traditional model before, and only wants to sit on all the profits of each dish, and is only willing to hire Liu Leopard at a super high price.

Without the infinite motivation of the kitchen, Liu Leopard would not have been able to work so hard, it would be impossible for him to be ruthless in purchasing ingredients, and he would not be crazy to chase and beat the troublesome villains on the street.

It is a win-win cooperation, and there is no question of who loses and who takes advantage.

Half of the restaurant needs such a Liu Leopard, and Liu Leopard takes his fair share.

Liu Leopard was about to take the money, but his hand hit him hard, but her wife caught the money and glared at him fiercely, so he giggled with a giggle.

Who would have thought that such a ferocious Liu Leopard would be afraid of guilt.

After Liu Baozi and his wife thanked the two of them for their kindness, they left happily with the meat and money.

Call!

Nie Yunzhu lit the oil lamp, then gently spit out a mouthful of fragrance and blew out the candle.

In fact, it is not only Liu Leopard and his wife who are happy, but the big stone that Nie Yunzhu pressed in his heart can be put down. The restaurant does not need to be sold for eighty taels, and it can still make money every day, not only has the ability to pay off the debt, but also has the money to continue to rely on his father for treatment.

The lights in the room were dimmed, but they could expose people's emotions more easily, and those tender eyes fell on the man who was fiddling with the abacus, as if he could plan anything.

The restaurant that was supposed to close was rescued by him in a very short period of time. As he said to Chen Yuanwai that day, half of the restaurant was full of customers.

"After the county test, the business of the restaurant will be a little worse, but the income is still very considerable, why don't we invite a shopkeeper back?" Lin Haoran finished his work, stood up and handed her the money bag.

"It costs a lot of money to ask the shopkeeper, I'll do it!" Nie Yunzhu took the money bag, a little angry.

Lin Haoran was afraid that she had misunderstood something, so she explained: "I'm not saying that you are not suitable to be a shopkeeper!" It's just that you have to make pastries and collect the bills at the counter, so it's going to be very tiring! Now that the business of the restaurant is good, it is completely possible to raise a few more people, which actually doesn't cost much money! ”

Nie Yunzhu found that he was thinking too much, so he smiled slyly: "That son will suffer a loss here!" ”

"As long as there is a dividend at the end of next month!" Lin Haoran waved his hand disappreciatively.

In fact, there is another important part of this box system, that is, the issue of start-up capital.

Some kitchen utensils, ingredients, and wine purchases are all problems that neither Liu Leopard nor Nie Yunzhu can solve, Nie Yunzhu himself is still in debt, and Liu Leopard's family is not rich.

Lin Haoran bought 20 taels of shares, accounting for 30% of half of the restaurant's shares.

It is precisely in this way that he finally became a partner of half a restaurant from a poor scholar who was poor and white.

Two days later, the results of the prefectural test were officially announced.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of literati despising each other, and there is no such thing as the first literati. No matter how humble and polite those scholars usually behaved, they were disdainful of those who pressed on his head.

This is the first case in the first place, and it will naturally become the target of public criticism. Unfortunately, Lin Haoran was personally named the head of the case by the county respected Xiao Lidao and ranked first on the list.

On the day Lin Haoran obtained the first case, a lot of negative news came.

In addition to the fact that he is a complete nerd, there is also the crooked poem he made, "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, a line of white cranes on the blue sky", which has become the focus of everyone's complaints after dinner.

It's just that what makes them angry is that since Zheng Guozhi staged that farce, no one dares to mention the unfairness of the county's trial papers, for fear of being accused of being Zheng Guozhi's second, so many scholars feel very depressed.
